You’re brave and strong, and i know that didn’t come easy, nothing worthwhile is ever easily gained. I most sincerely hope your story helps someone else break away from such base and barbaric treatment. Bless you and yours.

I came here to write a post just like your…the secret I hide and the innocence I thank god every day that my two young daughters still have…

Thank you for your honesty. I’m so sorry that there is someone out there with a story like mine.

Ouch, my soul.

I’m going to vomit. I can’t even imagine… wow, I’m so sorry that anyone could have their childhood so violently ripped away from them.

Stay strong, Miss.

I’m so sorry that you had to live through that – but am also amazed at the fact that your life has turned into something so wonderful.
If you don’t feel the need to share these details with your family, then that’s your right. But thank you for sharing it here, and I hope getting it out helped you heal just a little bit more.

Thank you for sharing. I cannot imagine what your childhood must have been like. I am so sorry. What a strong person you are, you have already broken the curse.

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. I’m deeply sorry for the pain you’ve endured. The words I have to offer you seem inadequate, but please take some comfort in knowing that we are listening and that we are here. You are very strong and I am proud of you for the new life you have achieved.

Words really fail me, I don’t know that I can accurately express how I feel when reading your story. The courage you show in telling your story is truly overwhelming. You are a survivor and you are strong. Your strength and dedication to your children is evident, and I pray that you will continue to find peace.

Mine started at 9 and stopped when I fled home at 16. I never returned home again and threatened my stepfather if he laid a hand on my other 3 little sisters. I would go to the police. He was deathly afraid of going to jail. He died 5 years later. My mother? She thought I asked for it and deserved it, I was an evil child. She buried herself in her righteous religion and pretended all was well with the world.

I wish I could say I was brave. Working for a living and going to school at such a young age took it’s toll. I became an alcoholic and drank the pain under. It was only when I was alone I couldn’t live with the memories. I’ve been speaking out for years now. Letting people know this happens, more often than not. My daughter has never known a day of abusive and grew to be a wonderful adult. The abuse stops with us.

Thank you for having the courage to tell your story. I recognize it, know the horror. It’s testament of your courage you never let your memories own you. Peace and love to you dear friend. (Hugs)Indigo
